How To Install / Open Backtrack 4 R1 VM File

Hello All -

I downloaded the Backtrack 4 R1 VM file and extracted it to a folder which contains 10 vmdk files. Using VMWare Workstation (newest), I tried to open it which was a nogo since there's no vmx. I also tried to create a new VM with Ubuntu as the base, but when I try to use existing disk and slect the 1st vmdk, I get an error.

I also tried to import the vmdk using virtualbox, but it didn't work either.

Afeter 5 day I had research, read and see many thread and video but after that i don't know what should I do continue for ha_ck wifi pass. Backtrack really very strong power but very hard to understand and use it for ha_ck wifi pass. Someone should write the guide thread step by step for newcomer PLEASE, TKS.

There is no way that you have been researching for 5 days and not find a guide. pfft. Now I can see why the forum rules are so strict. Here: tutorial [Aircrack-ng]

50 bux says your not using a USB wireless adapter? I'm guessing you tried to follow the guides but kept getting stuck because of this.
